Ghalibaf: Unity Brought Defeat to the Enemy

In a statement marking Islamic Unity Week, Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf emphasized that Shiite-Sunni solidarity in Iran serves as a fundamental pillar of national might, security, and progress. He noted that this unity has been historically demonstrated through joint resistance across ethnic and religious lines during imposed conflicts.

Ghalibaf, who also heads the Iranian negotiating team, discussed broader regional dynamics, stating that regional states increasingly recognize that foreign powers lack both the capability and intention to provide lasting security. He urged Muslim neighbors to rely on self-capacity and brotherly cooperation rather than extra-regional pacts or exhausting rivalries.

At the end of his message, Ghalibaf said that emerging regional pacts reflect a growing awakening among Muslim nations to substitute foreign dependency with self-reliance. He also noted that the tangible outcome of recent Islamic solidarity has been forcing arrogant foreign powers to retreat from their strategic ambitions.

According to Mehr News, Ghalibaf's remarks come amid ongoing tensions in the region, including discussions about potential conflicts and the Strait of Hormuz. His statement underscores Iran's position on regional security and the importance of Muslim unity in countering external threats.
